My starting point was looking at the reviews on amazon.com, but I've recently found out those are gamed too (paid review shops that spam good reviews, angry reviewers that spam bad reviews, etc). Now I don't know what to do, if there are no specialized review sites (like dphotography for DSLRs, for example).
- eli_s 17y agoyeah I tried various review sites and newegg reviews but they all reeked of spam. I don't understand why the big G doesn't immediately ban all spam sites. They take about 0.1 seconds to identify by a human viewer. Obviously not suggesting that G curates the whole web - but jeez purging the worst offenders would make life easier.
- gruseom 17y agoIsn't it just the obvious conflict of interest that Google make money off those sites? I wish it weren't true, because apart from it being the biggest thing spoiling my admiration of Google, the prevalence of such garbage sites is the biggest thing spoiling the usefulness of the web.
